He looks like a lonely little boy for just a second, and my heart goes out to him. I can feel myself softening towards him, and I straighten in my seat.
“Here you are,” the waitress says as she sets our food down.
“Thanks.”
“Can I get you anything else?” She asks, and Fisher shakes his head.
I grab my burger, taking a bite as I try to get my walls back in place.
“Salty food or sweet?” Fisher asks, and I blink.
“Salty. You?”
“Same. What’s your favorite snack?”
“Popcorn,” I tell him.
“Pretzels, but only the tiny twist ones.”
“Why is that?” I ask.
“I’m not sure. They just taste better to me.”
I smile at his weird quirk and take another bite of my burger.
“What’s your favorite animal?” I ask him.
“Dogs. I bet I can guess yours.”
“Wolves,” I say with a smile.
A gust of wind blows some of his dark brown hair over his forehead, and I have the strongest urge to push it back into place. I grab a French fry instead.
“What was your favorite vacation?” He asks me.
“I haven’t been on many. The furthest I’ve gone is over to the coast once when I was a kid.”
“Where would you want to go?”
“I don’t know. Australia, maybe? Or Greece? What about you?”
“I’ll go see those places with you.”
“Yeah, but where would you want to go?” I ask him.
“Anywhere with you.”
I roll my eyes, but when I look at him, I can see that he’s being sincere.
“Cheesy,” I tell him, and he grins.
“It’s the truth. You’ll see that soon, too.”
He sounds so sure of himself, and I want to ask him why he’s so into me. How can he be so sure that I’m worth all of this when he barely even knows me?
Fisher asks me a few more questions as we eat and we continue our game of twenty questions all the way up until he pays the bill.
“We should do this again sometime,” he says as he leads me over to my car.
